    Love the ambiance! The menu has an inclusiveness that makes everything easy... soup or salad, coffee and ice cream all in when you order a main. If you have not been... you must go!!!

    Great interior design (fairy-tale style), nice service, plenty of room for guests and very good food (for North American standards). If you're going there with your sign. other, ask for tram seating!

    GREAT late dinner last night, food was AMAZING! But service was a tad lacking(especially since it was pretty empty), and the live music from bicycle club was competing w the music in the restaurant.

    Great devote and it has a variety of food. Weekday lunch service is slow. Always count on an hour and a half. Delicious garlic butter at the table. Regular butter is available upon request.

    It's like walking into "olde time" Toronto here. As one of the few places you can say you went to as a kid and now can bring your kids, it's a great kitschy restaurants w trains, memorabilia & more.

    chicken parmigiana was delicious. The chicken tasted like it was freshly cooked and not from a freezer. I had the new York cheese cake.Atmosphere is 8.5. Greeter was very funny. Overall I'd give an 8

    The Spaghetti Arrabiatta with Italian Sausage is great. The ambience is loud during dinner rush, but it's accessible and good for families with kids.

    When I went here for lunch on Friday July 1, 2011 with my friend, we were treated to excellent service from our server. The food there was great as well but the food is a little pricy though.

    For big parties, expect a 10-15 seating wait. Water is usually served prior to ordering & there's a semi wide selection of drinks. I recommend ordering the meals with chicken, very moist and tender!

    If the wait is long, go into the Amsterdam bicycle factory and you can get all the same food.

    The penne with chicken is to die for, and also love that 3 courses are included in the price.

    I've been here before and it really sucks. The same old, however this time I was given a bonus in my salad: a long hair. Husband's meal was wrong & we waited 45 min for this substandard, bland food.
